Thank you very much! Using the changelog, I made a new (localized) OnePiece POSAddon, then a new June-2015 XP iso. We still haven't heard from OnePiece, but I hope you will stay around! (You already "promised" to stay around forever <g>)
THANKS again!

THANKS again!

I would REALLY like to use your addon with OnePiece's update pack as I'm having some VERY weird errors with my XP builds (yes i've tried both with and without your addon) mostly related to gdiplus and/or programs using dotnet framework 2.
Rather than install QFE's update addon + wmp addon + ie8 addon + dotnet framework 3.5 + dotnet framework 4 addon i'd like to simply try Oncepiece's which does all of the work for me with regard to all those and i'm hoping lessen my chances of these errors which i cannot seem to get rid of.

As far as I can tell, the AIO has (many? most?) of the elements of the QFE -- except I think I remember reading that OncPiece switched from QFE branch to GDR branch regarding WMP (or regarding everything?) (changelog quote "4.0.1-100815: switched .Net updates from QFE to GDR branch to improve WU/MU compatibility") Would the internal use of a different branch affect the compatibiltiy of a new QFE Addon pack to a prior integrated GDR Update pack? If it might work, I might try it just for fun.

Thanks for your help in maintaining the POS Ready lists!!

I haven't tried this addon with OnePiece's update pack yet. Now that I've finished (mostly) with XP x64, I'll have a bit more time to look into it properly.

You are correct in that the issue with branches was primarily between .NET and the Microsoft Update website; MU seemingly could not update .NET. Updates would install but not be detected afterward, I believe. If I create a separate addon for OP's pack it may be missing the .NET updates. We'll see.

It has been reported that all recent versions of Adobe Flash Player are vulnerable to a zero-day exploit. Therefore, this release completely removes Adobe Flash Player from your source. Another release of this addon is planned for when Adobe corrects the known flaws in its software--probably within the next few days.

Been thinking about it, GH0st. Removed it entirely from the XPx64 pack back in July to finalize that pack.

Flash Player has two things going for it: It's baked into Windows XP, so it will always be there unless somebody excises it. Microsoft even updated Flash Player 6 for a while and released those updates through their Automatic Update mechanism. Second, the update pack that this addon augments is not under my control. user_hidden maintains it. If he wants to remove Flash Player from his update pack then that's his choice. And I'll respect his decision by not including it in this addon.

But I won't override his decision to keep it in his pack by permanently removing it with my addon. It's beyond this addon's scope; which is to add updates released after XP's end-of-service date. The temporary removal is intended as a workaround, nothing more.

When user_hidden updates his pack with a fixed version of Flash Player then I may create another addon to remove Flash Player. That functionality won't be kept in the POSReady addon.

I personally would prefer to not have it at all. The version that gets installed with these packs (in the past) was not the version needed for SRWare Iron (Chrome alternative), so I would have to uninstall it, then install another version after.

Either way, I have enjoyed both your update packs for years and years now, Thanks to you both!!

its no use the last update there is from march 2014

You need to modify your registry so you can download the "POS" updates, which are from May 2014 thru this month, all thru MS Updates!

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
"Installed"=dword:00000001

You can also google "XP Updates Trick Sebijk" and get a registry file to do it for you! This will give you the newest updates.

Hello i managed to fix it thanks
i applied some old windows updates that i missed over the years and now when i click on the start menu in the turn off computer option it appears with the classic windows theme and not with my black theme (only the turn off menu that has the options to restart-turn off-stand by) do you happen to know what update-updates causes this so i uninstall it?
thanks

As suggested by several users, a Flash Player removal addon has been released in the first post of this thread. Removal addons of this type require a second pass with RVMiafter all other addons have been integrated. If using nLite, it is sufficient in a single pass when the removal addon is placed last, after all other addons.
